I've recently moved from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS (64-bit). With the new version, Chrome isn't provided by default (there must be a solid reason for that). Though, Chrome gave better performance than Firefox in 12.04, and also some of extensions/add-ons worked better than in Firefox. I'm very much tempted to install Chrome.
But before that, I want to know if its not a bad idea!
Thanks.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

1: Even at the time of 12.04, Chrome wasn't provided by default. 2: Whether installing Chrome is a good idea or not is subjective. See askubuntu.com/help/dont-ask for more.

There are Google Chrome and Chromium (the FOSS version which lacks some proprietary modifications and plug-ins). Chromium is still in the archive, and you can install it from the software center easily. Google Chrome is proprietary and you need to get it from Google, and always needed to.
